Subject: No WiFi needed,Stop Res.425
Date: Friday,November 29,2019 5:29:51 PM
Honorable Council Members:
Please stop the proliferation of WiFi until it can be proven safe. I do
not consent to our public places being used as areas of wireless
radiation;which harms myself and my family.Please follow the
Precautionary Principle like so many other municipalities,and which is =-
part of our Hawaii Constitution.
27.:r-
WiFi will is not necessary to make a phone call.WiFi is for internet
data.We do not need to surf the web,at the expense of our health and
wellbeing,while in our public parks.
There are now hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies showing that
wireless radiation is harmful.The government's exposure guidelines were
set in the 1990s•and based on science from the 1980s.Did anyone even
own a cellphone in the'80s?The guidelines only consider heating
effects,as if we were a roast cooking in a microwave oven! Despite a
huge body of scientific evidence,the FCC refuses to update these
guidelines,which are among the least protective in the world.
This is extremely concerning when it comes to our children,whose small,
developing bodies make them more vulnerable to the effects of wireless
radiation.Children also have a longer life in front of them to
experience the kind of damage researchers have documented:various
cancers,reproductive problems,DNA damage,etc.
To view some of this evidence:

No"free"WiFi in our public parks,please.
Sincerely,
